AVR®32 Studio is an integrated development environment for writing, debugging and deploying AVR32 applications. AVR32 Studio is distributed by Atmel® free of charge, and runs on both Windows® and Linux®. AVR32 Studio is Built on Eclipse™, enabling integration with third party plugins for increased functionality.
The product has been tested by the development team, and we are not aware of any serious issues at the time of release. However this is still a beta version which has not been tested on a wide variety of hardware and software configurations.
The User Guide and other documentation is not complete in the beta release.
The following issues are known at the time of release.
AVR32 Studio is supported under the following configurations.
AVR32 Studio has not been tested on computers with less resources, but may run satisfactorily depending on the number and size of projects and the user's patience.
AVR32 Studio has not been tested on Windows Vista or 64-bit operating systems. AVR32 Studio does not support Windows 98, NT or ME. It has been tested and reported to work on SUSE Linux 10.2 in addition to the above.
The software can be found on the AVR32 Technical Library CD, or downloaded from Atmel's website at http://www.atmel.com/products/AVR32/ under the "Tools & Software" menu.
There are two installers for AVR32 Studio available, one which installs the AVR32 Studio IDE only, which is called AVR32StudioSetup.exe, and one which incorporates the latest AVR32 GNU Toolchain called AVR32DevelopmentTools.exe. We recommend the latter even if you have the AVR32 GNU Toolchain already installed, since AVR32 Studio requires the latest versions of some of the utilities such as avr32program.exe and avr23gdbproxy.exe.
Double-click the AVR32DevelopmentTools.exe icon to start the installer. This will install the AVR32 GNU Toolchain and the AVR32 Studio IDE. The AVR32 GNU Toolchain installation will check for an existing cygwin installation and install itself on top of it. If no cygwin can be found, a minimal environment will be installed by executing the cygwin setup. For more information on the AVR32 Studio IDE installation, see below.
Double-click the AVR32StudioSetup.exe icon to start the installer. If you wish to specify the location where the AVR32 Studio software is installed, choose "Custom Installation". The installation software will install a Sun Java Runtime Environment on your computer if it is missing.
On Linux, the AVR32 Studio IDE is distributed separately from the AVR32 GNU Toolchain which can be installed as RPM or Debian packages depending on the distribution. AVR32 Studio is available as a ZIP archive which can be extracted using the unzip utility.
AVR32 Studio requires Sun Java (JRE or JDK) 1.5 or newer. Consult your distribution's documentation for instructions on installing Sun Java, or download it from Sun's website at http://java.sun.com/.
We recommend installing AVR32 Studio into a directory which is writable for the user(s). This simplifies the process of adding or updating the product using the update manager. On a single-user machine, you can typically extract the AVR32 Studio ZIP file into your home directory. This creates an avr32studio directory containing the product files.
To run AVR32 Studio, execute the avr32studio program from the avr32studio directory.
